Jon Pugliese said his artwork is greatly improved by talking.
When painting a portrait, it helps him to have the subject right in front of him so he can talk to them, ask them questions and see their facial expression change to get a well-rounded piece. Pugliese got all the time he needed when he and several other artists sat down with 17-year-old Mae Schiebel, who modeled for the Butler Art Center’s portrait group Wednesday, July 19.
People interested in being the subject of the portrait group can email office@butlerartcenter.org or call 724-777-4076.
